Hi Joan I found the marriage record Lavinia and Richard married in 1910 April-June Isle OF Wight
vol 2b page 1197

Richard H A Shepherd was born 1911 Jan-Mar IOW
vol 2b page 550

found 2 Richard Shepherds b 1887 neither on Ise O Wight one b Bath checked him out fathers name Henry mother Emma the other born York so didn't bother with him.

a Lavinia Eliza Martin was born 1887 Jan-Mar Sheppey Kent vol 2a page 897

couldn't find her on 1891 or 1901 census with that birth record. Isle of Wight comes under Hampshire but no trace of Richard or George that I can find on 1891 or 1901 census

best I an do good luck Pat
